I'm 25 and I've shaved mine once, not the whole lot, just neatened it up a bit. The ithiness when it regrew was horrible! Never again will I do it. It doesn't poke out of swimming costumes so maybe I don't have much in the first place.

Nothing here too.

But to be fair I don't need to. I had a student who needed to do a 'full leg wax' to complete her portfolio. She did below the knees and then her and her tutor had to find a single hair above my knees to tick off her portfolio.

Never taken so much as a pair of scissors to what a friend on the bus today discreetly referred to as 'the lady area'. But mine's blonde and neatly triangular, and if there's any knicker pokey-outage I've never spotted it in the mirror. Being slatternly by nature, if I did have darker more luxuriant pubes I'd probably opt for giant pants and beach modesty rather than tackle a lifetime of relentless topiary.

A bit of Veet around the edges (only if I have to appear in a swimming costume). Otherwise left purely alone! I am relieved to find I'm not some lonely, hairy troglodyte, TBH, having been given the impression by previous threads that I was the only woman in the world who didn't look like a porn star/6 yo girl 'down below'.

I have tried to be more 'glamorous' in the past. Once shaved the lot off (at request of an ex). Never again, after the hideous itchy regrowth. Can't even shave the sides without suffering shaving rash for days. Itchy red spots are not attractive.

Once had the top and edges waxed, before a holiday in the sun. It was not the best time I've ever had. I broke out in weeping pus-sy sores (is that how you spell it? They were pus-filled, rather than 'pussy' sores ). It looked rather how I imagine an severe case of gonnorhoea might look. Not great if you were hoping for a shag...

HelsBels just seen yr OP ive never ever shaved or waxed down there either. Never felt the need. And i wouldnt tolerate a lover who made me feel that i needed to.

Nope, mine flows freely. The only time I've ever had any sort of removal was just before DDs birth. I had about 5cm shaved off. The regrowth was awful. We war eliding in a very hot country, I had a CS scar and an itchy triangle to deal with.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one

I just think the 'landing strip' looks so odd.
